Description: | A medieval/post-medieval strap mount with single integral attachment spike, and a flat head in the form of a lozenge entirely covered with moulded pellets. The pellets are arranged in rows, with five in the centre, then four, two, and one, on each side. The spike has a square cross-section and is bent over at its end. The mount has corroded to a red-brown colour with areas of mid-green corrosion product, especially on the back. Is can be compared to an example illustrated in Read (2001, no. 253), dated to the second half of the 14th century, although perhaps a 15th - 16th century date is more likely, as suggested in NMS-F3EF31 on this database.
